Laptop for School and Occasional Gaming

[FreshBeast]

I'm looking for a laptop for my school works and to play at league of legends occasionally. I don't want a killer gaming laptop but I don't want to buy a cheap one. The prize doesn't really matters. Is a macbook pro a good option ? Thank you

A friend of mine sent me this blog http/www.topg4u.com/. They have Lenovo Ideapad Y510. The price is also a bonus point. They listed the specs there so try and check it out.

Dont... get... a Mac... EVER! legit tho dont. http/www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8869819&CatId=3982 this beast is cheaper and can be used for gaming and pretty much anything else. If you want a 14" version or any other version with better specs, etc just click this: http/shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/
i cant find the y510/y410p laptops on their website anymore but they sell it in stores. The laptops here are what I assume are the newer versions. I hope this helps and have fun!

yessssssss! xD

The processor is the biggest difference. Though it says both are an i7 Processor, the difference is in the performance. The Acer has an Intel Core i7-4510U. The "U" indicates ultra-low voltage meaning it'll use less power (longer battery life) and it'll produce less heat, but this hinders performance.

The ASUS has an Intel Core i7-4700HQ, which means high performance ("HQ" designation). This type of mobile processor is made for the best possible performance versus the "U" and it's focus on battery and heat efficiency.

The battery life advertised for the Acer is 6.5 hours, which is 1.5 hours more than the ASUS (5 hours advertised). This is due to the Acer's energy efficient mobile processor.

For LoL, the Acer should run great, without any hiccup, but for the best performance the ASUS is a clear winner.

I think I'll wait a bit to see reviews about the acer ! Thank you for your help
